This page was written in November 2025 about four manufacturers making a push into Australian home energy. Nine months on, two of them we still do not fit. Rather than leave it reading as a preview of things about to arrive, here is what the show actually predicted and where each one has got to.
Product availability
- GoodWe ESA arrived and is real. The all-in-one enclosure is now something we quote.
- EcoFlow is on our roadmap and not yet in the range. Treat anything you read about it here as a preview.
- Anker Solix and FoxESS are not in our range at all, nine months after we wrote them up as ones to watch.
- The theme was right even where the brands were not: home energy is consolidating into single enclosures that do solar, storage, backup and EV charging together.
All-in-one system trade-offs
The strongest thing at the show was not a product, it was a direction. Manufacturers are collapsing the separate boxes — inverter, battery, backup switchgear, EV charger, monitoring — into one enclosure with one app. That has continued and it is the right direction for the customer, mostly.
Mostly, because it cuts both ways. An all-in-one is a neater install, less wall, fewer compatibility arguments and one company to call. It is also one company to call, which is a problem if they leave the market or the enclosure fails outside warranty. A modular system lets you replace the part that broke. An integrated one sometimes does not. Worth thinking about over a ten-year horizon rather than at install day.
Updates by manufacturer
GoodWe ESA. The one that landed. Inverter, battery, backup switchgear and controls in a single compact unit, and GoodWe has a long enough Australian track record that the support question has an answer. If you want the all-in-one shape, this is the one we can actually quote.
EcoFlow. The AI-managed Delta home platform was the most interesting thing on the floor and it is on our roadmap rather than in our range. We are not quoting it and we are not taking deposits against it.
Anker Solix and FoxESS. Both were written up here as ones to watch, and neither is something we fit today. The FoxESS pitch on heat tolerance was well aimed at WA specifically, and it still has not turned into a product on our price list. That is not a criticism of either company — entering the Australian market means certification and grid approval, and those take as long as they take.
Planning for a later battery
Watch the direction, ignore the launch dates. The useful output of All Energy was confirming that the all-in-one architecture is where the market is going, which changes how we think about a system someone is buying today: if you are putting solar on now and a battery later, the choice of inverter decides how expensive “later” is.
That is a decision worth getting right this year, and it does not depend on whether Anker ships. If you are in it, the pathway that covers it is solar now, battery later, and the batteries we actually fit today are in the battery range.
